The third-annual Burgies is tonight. Broward represents.

​Sef Gonzalez has turned eating burgers into a mission and a career.

The man behind the popular food blog Burger Beast has become a food critic, blogger, food-truck-roundup promoter, and host of his own annual award, the Burgies.

The third-annual Burger Beast Burgie Awards is tonight at Miami's Magic City Casino. South Florida's best restaurants and food trucks will submit their hamburgers for judging by a panel of food experts, bloggers, and other meat lovers (including yours truly) for the titles of Best Burger 2011 and Best Food Truck Burger 2011. 



In addition, 40 food trucks and a host of restaurants will be set up outside the casino, selling their food and burgers, in case you want to try for yourself. 

Several restaurateurs from Broward County will be making the drive down to Miami to compete for the title. They will also have tents set up to sell their wares.

Broward favorites include Charm City Burger Company (Deerfield Beach), Georgie's Alibi (Wilton Manors), Gilbert's 17th Street Grill (Fort Lauderdale), and Quickie's Burgers & Wings (Hollywood).

The Burger Beast Burgie Awards are tonight, November 19, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Magic City Casino in Miami. Admission is free. (Facebook RSVP here).
